Junk Food Kills!

Artist Bio

I’m an Illustrator based in Durban, South Africa and studied Graphic Design for three years which ultimately lead to a love for and further study of commercial illustration. My work focuses mainly around strong concepts teamed with a cartoon/developed personal style. Often combining contradictory scenarios, objects, or people.

Basically when i first started really getting into art and design, it was mainly because of Japanese art, I loved every bit of it, from classic anime to Japanese pop art and even the old school traditional work. As time has progressed I’ve learned to evolve and try all sorts of new techniques and mediums, so the name Tokyo-Go-Go expresses how i began, and how those beginnings will keep changing, always on the Go ! Go !

Junk Food Kills! is really just a fun, busy design, playing with the oxymoron of Junkfood, and how deadly it can be. The initial design was just going to be a mash-up of different foods and sweets that covered the front of a tee, but i then decided to add the skull shape to give the illustration a different level and also add my own character touch to it.
